President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of four new members to the Governing Council of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) to fill existing vacancies and strengthen the board’s capacity.
In a statement on Thursday, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced the nominees as Mr. Olusegun Omosehin from the National Insurance Commission, Engr. Wole Ogunsanya of the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria, Sam Onyechi representing the Nigerian Content Consultative Forum, and Barrister Owei Oyanbo from the Ministry of Petroleum Resources.
The President urged the new members to apply their expertise and commitment to advancing local content development in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
According to the statement, the nominations were necessitated by the exit of previous institutional representatives. The NCDMB Governing Council, established under Section 69 of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act, 2010, includes representatives from key institutions such as the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria, the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, the Nigerian Content Consultative Forum, and the National Insurance Commission.
